A study on 94 patients with the ocular injuries during 2000-2001 in Hue hospital has shown that the disease occurred in the man (women = 3,27/1). Injuries in the living activities was 52,2% followed by social injuries (26,8%), the results of treatment found that negative vision (17,39%), visionability of 3/10 (20,65%), 4/10-7/10 (22,83%) and 8/10 and more than (18,48%).

In the study, 25 consecutive eyes of 25 patients (21 men, 4 women; mean age: 45 ± 8.5 years; range 30 to 58 years) with central serous chorioretinopathy were examined with optical coherence tomography (OCT) during acute phase and after the resolution of the retinal detachment. Cross-sectional retinal images through the center of the fovea were obtained from all eyes by OCT. The retinal thickness at the fovea center was measured. All of patients were conducted fluorescent angiographies. In the acute phase, neurosensory retina was thickened within the area of serous retinal detachment in all 25 eyes. The retinal thickness at the center of the fovea during the acute phase (range, 162 to 273µm; mean ± SD, 192 ±18 µm) was significantly thickened in comparison with that after resolution (range, 98 to 149 µm; mean± SD, 117±12.7µm). The retinal pigment epithelium was focally detached in five eyes

Lagophthalmos is a common observed complication of some lesions in the upper eyelid. The technique "allongement of elevator muscle" performed in 12 patients with lagophthalmos. This is simple technique that allows a effective reconstruction of the retraction of the upper eyelid and seems particularly useful in context of medium retraction. Very satisfactory esthetic and functional results obtained in almost patients.

Study on 450 children with 900 astigmatic eyes by 3 methods (Autorefraction, Retinoscopy and Keratometry). The results are: astigmatism is a common refractive error which must be diagnosed accurately in power ans axis; there is close correlation between corneal and astigmatic eye; keratometry is a necessary method to assist objective refractive methods, on the other hand it is necessary to combine objective refractive methods with subjective methods in order define accurately astigmatism, especially in children

With the support of the World Vision, in June 2004, the district Chi Linh Health Centre (Hai Duong province) co-operated with Institute of Ophthalmology to survey on blindness and some eye diseases in 3,370 people. Objectives: identify the situation of blindness and some eye diseases in Chi Linh in the year 2004; identify the trachoma prevalence after 4 years implementing the project of trachoma control in Chi Linh. Methods: cross sectional study; Target population: all people. Results of survey has shown the prevalences of blindness and some eye diseases are so high compared with the figures of country survey, the leading causes of blindness are cataract, glaucoma, corneal opacity and pterigium. Conclusion: Thank to project of trachoma control supported by WV conducted in Chi Linh from 1999, the prevalence of active trachoma now has dropped to level under the criteria of WHO on active trachoma elimination. However, the rate of trichiasis is very far from criteria of WHO. Results of survey has shown also the serious situation of blindness. That is the big challenge for health workers and ophthalmologists in Hai Duong province and Chi Linh district in order to reduce the blindness prevalence in the next years.

The surgical treatment of functional strabismus in adult is a surgery of efficacy in esthtic aspect and in functional aspect. it is a flexible dynamic operation. In case of < 30 strabismus, operation can be conducted on an eye and in case of > 300 strabismus, operation can be conducted on 2 eyes

Dengue infection is epidemic but ocular complications of dengue are less reported. We report a case of dengueinfected patient with disturbing ocular symptoms. He was admitted for severe dengue. Subsequently, he presented with symptoms of bilateral central scotoma with metamorphosia. Fundus examination revealed cotton wool spots and flame-shaped haemorrhages at the macula, with dull foveal light reflex. He was diagnosed with bilateral dengue maculopathy. The patient was managed conservatively with surveillance. One week later, his eye symptoms improved and were resolved six months later. Early recognition and close monitoring remains the key to successful management and interventions are rarely needed.

Inherited ocular diseases comprise a heterogeneous group of rare and complex diseases, including inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) and inherited optic neuropathies. Recent success in adeno-associated virus-based gene therapy, voretigene neparvovec (Luxturna^®) for RPE65-related IRDs, has heralded rapid evolution in gene therapy platform technologies and strategies, from gene augmentation to RNA editing, as well as gene agnostic approaches such as optogenetics. This review discusses the fundamentals underlying the mode of inheritance, natural history studies and clinical trial outcomes, as well as current and emerging therapies covering gene therapy strategies, cell-based therapies and bionic vision.

A sterile disposable tip for the Goldmann applanation tonometer was designed with the material of methylmetacrylate. With this tip, applanation tonometry showed in relatively good agreement to the data measured by the tonometry without the use of tips. With the use of this disposable tips, applanation tonometry can be measurable in cases of active infectious eye diseases such as epidemic keratoconjunctivitis, and also can definitely eliminate any intra-hospital eye infection through the applanation tonometry.
